Author Bio:
Luisa Marietta Gold was born in Pennsylvania where she spent a large part of her adult life. She moved to North Carolina after the birth of her only daughter. She published her debut novel, Escape to Osprey Cove, which is Book 1 of The Osprey Cove Lodge series in September 2016. The Osprey Cove Series was born from Luisa’s love of the Rideau Lake region of Canada, the outdoors, and lake life. She spent many years enjoying the Rideau region while staying in lodges reminiscent of the lodge in her first novel. She currently resides on eleven acres in her North Carolina home near an idyllic lake with her husband and several mixed labs. She spends as much time as possible enjoying the beauty of the lake. Luisa also does acrylic painting. The cover of her debut book which features The Lady Droxell on a Canadian lake was painted by her. It was very satisfying to Luisa to know that she created the entire project. There is a tea room not far from her home where one selects a hat to wear while dining as did Libby and Rosalind in the book. And sometimes they are silly. Luisa’s bio picture was taken there.
The House of Tomorrow by Adair Arlen
The House of Tomorrow by Adair Arlen
The House of Tomorrow
A solitary man, Paul Gregory is the mysterious owner of trendy nightspot, Pal’s, in the Southern Illinois University town of Carbondale.
Liliane Greening, a researcher at the university, is putting her life back together after an emotionally crippling marriage.
When eligible bachelor Professor Sam Meredith pursues and courts Lily, he succeeds in breaking the hearts of many local hopefuls. Lily believes her dreams are finally coming true when Sam proposes marriage, which means also that she will become the mistress of renowned Meredith Manor, something she assures herself means nothing to her. Most important, in her eyes, is her love for Sam.
Enigmatic Paul Gregory increasingly appears in Lily’s life. Apprehensive at first, but reassured by his courtliness as well as intrigued by his dangerous reputation, she gradually grows to count him as a friend and eventually considers him her sometime guardian angel.
In an emotional scene, Paul reluctantly confesses that he is working undercover for the DEA and suspects the Meredith family of money laundering, dealing in drugs and worse. Lily is shocked and believes Paul is intentionally trying to prevent her marriage. Sam is fatally shot by his wicked sister (accidentally?) at Meredith Manor. Distraught, Lily wrongly blames Paul for indirectly causing the tragedy and retreats into a shell of her former self.
Time passes and Paul and Lily happen to meet again. He confesses that he’s always loved her and she finally realizes that he’s the man she’s been looking for all her life. Until the very last minute they both fear their happiness will be snatched away.
This is essentially the tale of a man and a woman who have learned to expect nothing and who nevertheless strive for and at last achieve the ultimate prize – requited love.

Author Bio:
Born and raised in Chicago, Adair had a happy but unremarkable childhood, ever trying for school grades good enough so she could go unnoticed. Teachers remarked on her report cards that she was too shy. That was then. She now loves to ham it up on stage. Go figure.
Adair lives on the ruggedly beautiful West Indian island of Montserrat with her English husband and their series of Westies and island dogs. An English major, Adair attended Blackburn College and Southern Illinois University, followed by evening classes at the Chicago campuses of Loyola University, the University of Chicago, DePaul University and later Tulane University in New Orleans.
Never unemployed, Adair considers her more than five year stint in the Advertising Department of Playboy magazine’s Chicago home office as one of her more interesting jobs; she always had too much to do and was never bored. Before leaving Playboy, she managed the business office of the Chicago Playboy Mansion.
Another favorite job was at Southern Illinois University in the Department of Graphics and Publications where she worked with writers and editors, artists and designers. She also owned and managed a secretarial service across Lake Pontchartrain on New Orleans’ north shore.
Adair was inspired to write by her engineer husband, who built her a studio for that purpose. “So what else could I do but start writing? I finally ran out of excuses not to.” And so Paul Gregory, the saloon-owning private eye was created. There are now four books in the series and the fifth is a work in progress.
Adair feels fortunate to have a studio where she can paint as well as an office where she writes. She observes, “We live in a place where even the most mundane task can be performed in a setting of breathtaking beauty. We’re surrounded by the magnificence of the Caribbean at cliff’s edge, islands in the distance, mountains as a backdrop and flowering trees and gardens everywhere in between. The air we breathe is clean and fresh and our water is pure and delicious. Life is good.”

Author Bio:
When I was 11 years old, a murder was committed in the vicinity of my school. A few days later, while with my group of friends, we discovered evidence that the murder had actually happened on the school ground. We also thought that we found evidence that our school headmaster might have been involved in the crime.
After deliberating among ourselves, it was decided that we would gather all our findings and take it to the police. After thanking us for our initiative, we came to believe that the constable had contacted the headmaster and not only recounted the incident to him but also given him our names.
What had convinced us that the constable had betrayed us? probably because a few days after our trip to the police station we noticed that the headmaster and one of the teachers were watching us intensely.
A few weeks after that, one of the boys in my group who was only 10 years old and whose teacher was the one watching us and pointing at us while conversing with the headmaster died mysteriously during lunch at school. The same week, I became convinced that the headmaster had tried to run me over with his car. I had not realised that it was him until he came out of his car, looked straight at me but did not try to give me a hand or help me up. Instead, he gave me an evil grin and got back in his car. He then proceeded to reverse the car prompting me to run away.
When I informed my father he told me that I misunderstood his motives and it must have been an accident, I disagreed.
Living in fear, we decided as a group to stop investigating; we were becoming paranoid and it felt like we were being watched by every single adult around us.
One of the boys refused to keep silent, convinced that it was our duty to bring the headmaster to justice.
It did not go well, he was locked in a mental institution by the end of July; we later heard from other students in town that his family was suspected of being members of the Famla, a cult known for its human sacrifices in exchange for wealth. It made sense, his family had become extremely wealthy after the death of his mother’s sister; there was also the fact that another suspected proud member of the Famla was the headmaster from hell.
Rumours have it that the headmaster and the Famla continued to kill after we left the school, my dear friend who we had been forbidden to visit has supposedly taken his own life after 2 years in a mental institution although we never heard of a funeral and the rest of our group never gathered again.
The book is inspired by that story.

2018 was the year Andy finally took the plunge and did what so many of us say. “I want to write a book one day”. He said it for year after year, often telling himself that it will happen one day. He turned 47 in 2018 and realized that “one day” would never come. Not unless he did something about it. Closing the year with 2 published books was a dream come true. Not only did he accomplish the one book he always wanted to write, but he is now on the way to completing his first series with The Matchmaker in Apartment 4B.
To anyone that’s thinking about it, he says this. One day will never happen until you MAKE it happen. Start with a word, then a sentence and turn them into a paragraph. Fill the page and then another. Continue for as long as it takes. Whether it’s a week a month or even a year or two. Stick with it and you too, will make it a reality.
When he’s not writing, he loves looking for the next thrill ride or roller coaster and also spending time with his family. He also has a real passion for photography. But whatever he’s doing, he still hears the voices in his head, the voices that have a story to tell.
True Course – Lessons From a Life Aloft by Brigid Johnson
About True Course – Lessons From a Life Aloft by Brigid Johnson
From award-winning, best-selling author Brigid Johnson comes the tale of how one woman’s life in the sky forged an unforgettable destiny. Raised in a small factory town in the 1960s, when aviation was predominantly a male profession, with parents who didn’t support her ambitions, Brigid nevertheless learned to fly. Hers was a busy life of setting limits and learning philosophies of growth and risk well beyond her years, even as she juggled two jobs, college, and a rescue Siberian husky whose wandering spirit put her own to shame. From first solo to an airline career, and finally a decision to hang up her wings for another profession when her elderly father needed her care, Brigid captures with understanding, humor, and grace the moments that change the path of our lives. With lyrical expression of her love for flight, she writes old and new stories of family, adventure, and the thrill of taking to the sky. True Course is more than a memoir or a story of the lure of aviation—it’s a story of learning to let the spirit soar and unfurling the wings of personal freedom, an inspiration to adventurers everywhere. .99 for Kindle through Oct. 15
